SUBJ ECT: Contribution Towards the Construction of a Bocci Ball Court
at the Community Park
BACKGROUND
In July 1992, Community Services staff received a request from Mr. Generosa
Russo that the City construct a Bocci Course at the Community Park. Bocci is
a sport generally associated with the Italian culture and enjoyed by players
of all ages. Since last July, Mr. Russo and other members of the Poway Bocci
Ball Club have worked with staff for the design of two bocci ball courts
(Attachment A) which could be constructed in the northwest corner of Community
Park. With volunteer labor, it is estimated that the two courts, walkways,
and benches could be constructed for $10,000.
FINDINGS
Attached for City Council consideration is a letter (Attachment B) from Mr.
Generosa Russo on behalf of the Poway Bocci Ball Club requesting a $4,000
contribution for the two bocci ball courts. It is their intention to not only
raise an additional $6,000, but also provide all the labor for the project.
These courts would be available for both the Poway Bocci Ball Club and the
general public as an amenity of the Community Park.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This action is not subject to CEQA review.

Dear Mr. Bowersox,
It is my great pleasure & pride to propose a cOllIrnJIli.ty Bocci Course plan.
The course will hopefully be set up in the carmuni.ty park at the Carmunity
Center location.
After much research with residents and the Italian ccmnunity in poway I have
cane to the conclusion that the courses will becane an asset illInediately to
both the city and residents.
The proposed courts will consist of the finest materials and workmanship
possible. I have cane up with a volunteer group of people wanting to
contribute time and small donations to see this project concluded. However ,
the funds that we have put together are nowhere near the proposed approximate
price of $10,000.00 for the courts.
It would be a great asset in receiving a small contribution by the city in the
amount of $4,000.00. The remaining portion would be provided by volunteers and
residents of Poway.
I hope to see the bocci courts as soon as possible so that everyone may enjoy
them. Again, the workmanship would be of superior quality only to enhance the
cormnmity park.
Finally, I would like to thank you for the time and effort in helping with
this project. I think, as you will see, these courts will become a great
pastime and source of en joyrnent for the corrmuni ty .
Sincerely yours,
</9~ #J,.
